Flower Specifications
Arenaria montana forms a low-growing evergreen cushion of dark green leaves, and it produces many white flowers during springtime. In sandy soils, this will root and spread slowly to form a patch. Arenaria plants prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Divide these ground cover plants in spring or early fall.
